For a long time, almost no one cared about the appearance design of the vehicle, and believed that for a car, as long as the three major items are stable and reliable, it is enough. In the period when the vehicle has just developed, this view and
There is nothing wrong, but as time goes by, people's demands are constantly increasing. A car must not only be stable, but also have a grand appearance and look like it, which is enough.
Trucks are no exception.
For a long time, domestic users have been accustomed to the cars of Lao Jiefang and Lao Dongfeng. Later, after coming into contact with Steyer, they thought Steyer was too good. The flat-headed cab has a wide view and the cab is tightly sealed, so it is not easy to enter.
The earth, especially the cab has shock absorption, which is really atmospheric.
Later, the drivers were not satisfied with Steyer. The sleeper was a little small and the appearance of the cab could not keep up with the times. However, in this era, there seemed to be no choice. Just look at the West again,
It is really a pleasure to discover someone’s heavy truck.
The cab uses four-point airbag suspension, and the seats are also airbags. It is very comfortable to sit on. The cab is clean, bright and atmospheric, which is simply a pleasure. Of course, the price is also high, except for the southern tobacco province used to pull cigarettes.
In addition to the vehicles, ordinary car owners are reluctant to spend so much money.
In this era, there is a lack of innovation.
The latest cab of Mercedes-Benz Heavy Truck is almost leading the trend in the entire heavy truck industry. At this time, when she saw the sludge model of the cab of the automobile branch of the Yimai Factory, Philip's surprise reached its extreme.
"You actually developed the cab assembly by yourself? Do you know how much energy it takes? How much money does it cost? Don't you, the great powers of the East, like to introduce them directly?"
If you want to design a car, you have to make various adjustments to the appearance. After all, even if there is a computer simulation design, it still appears on the computer. Even if it has a 3D three-dimensional feeling
, that cannot correspond to real entities, so when designing a car, before converting from a paper floor rendering to a product, a sludge model is needed.
The inside is a foam-made skeleton, and the outside is painted with a thick layer of sludge, so that you can constantly try and modify it. After all, today's cars are no longer simple combinations of several planes, but have complex shapes, many
The combination of smooth surfaces can be made by anyone who has studied art. Perhaps, just a little modification of a few lines can make a clumsy work become taller.
The appearance of a car also requires repeated consideration and modification. In this way, continuous modification will eventually become a unique work of art in the world. After the sludge appearance is completed, you can ask the mold factory to make the mold according to the model and then perform whitening.
The car body has been produced.
Such a design will cost huge amounts of money and time. You should know that in the current Eastern power, the heavy truck industry has just started from the introduction. The simplest and most direct way is to introduce mature cabs from abroad, or even drive
The molds in the chamber can be introduced together, which can greatly reduce R&D costs and directly enter the production process.
Who would have thought that in the first machine factory, they actually developed the cab by themselves. This is really unbelievable.
"Our major Eastern powers have late industry and short time. So, at the beginning, we must have focused on introduction, but we cannot introduce it forever. We must go from introduction to self-development, so we must be able to do this.
Road." Qin Zhenhua said: "Our great powers in the East once had a long historical civilization. We are creative, so we will definitely be able to take a path of our own. Mr. Philip, although we say this, he is a little arrogant
, but, that's what we think, we said, one day we'll sell our own trucks to Europe, and that's not a joke, we'll work in that direction."
Qin Zhenhua's words shocked Philip. If it were the beginning, Philip was indeed disdainful, but now, when he saw the sludge model in the cab, Philip finally knew that the decision makers in the first machine factory had
This belief is also working towards this direction.
Will they build an advanced truck like Mercedes-Benz heavy truck one day? It's really a matter of waiting and seeing.
Thinking of this, Philip continued to look at this model. It looked tall and beautiful like Mercedes-Benz's most advanced Actros heavy truck. It could not see any shadows in the cab of the current NG80 heavy truck, the diversion slot, and the door mirror.
, side lines, etc., these look definitely from the master's work.
"Who is the designer of this cab model? Can I meet him?" Philip asked Qin Zhenhua.
Hearing his question, Qin Zhenhua looked at Wang Erzhu again. Wang Erzhu said: "The designer was resting today and was not here."
This is not because Wang Erzhu intentionally stopped him. If the other party wants to meet, he can also introduce him to them openly. The person responsible for hosting this cab is the expert they hired by high salaries, Philip, or an old acquaintance. It’s a pity,
I can't see it today.
Philip shook his head in disappointment, and then continued: "A advanced heavy truck is not just a cab. What the cab brings to customers is comfort, while a heavy truck is to make profits for users.
Therefore, carrying capacity, fuel consumption, and reliability are the core of a heavy truck. Our Mercedes-Benz heavy truck has been studying advanced technology for decades. In terms of engines and gearboxes, we are ahead of the entire era. You want to surpass us.
That was a bit difficult.”
Speaking of these, Philip became confident again. There was only a beautiful cab, which was nothing. Heavy trucks made money for users. The engine had to be large in horsepower, fuel consumption was saved, and it had to be high in reliability.
Bringing the greatest economic benefits to users.
After a pause, he continued: "Especially, with the increasing environmental requirements, an advanced heavy truck still needs to meet emission standards. Now, our Europe has implemented stricter emission standards. Your engine, if
If you fail to meet the standards, you will not be able to enter our European market for sale.”
Let’s talk about something that is truly technical. In terms of engines, it has always been the weakness of the Eastern powers, so I can only find self-esteem here.
